Why didn't they yell or shout for help? Surely someone could've listened to them if the walls were thin enough?

Ouf. This really hit me in the gut. I was not expecting this when I first started reading. I have so many feelings right now.

I really did; thank you so much for sharing it. It reminds me of early Michael Marshall Smith work - his short stories in his book What You Make It give me very similar feelings.

I couldn't find a place within the story where the characters did that and the pacing remained as tight as I wanted. You're right, though. If this happened to me, I'd scream like a madman

Thank you so much! I should have something a little different up at the end of the week. You might also enjoy some of my previous work on here, or my story in The Ghost Story Magazine. It's called Storm And A Lonely Headstone
